TO THE EDITOR. ste_Notwithstanding the positive denial given by Mr. Ellice, in his letter of the x9th ultimo, of the truth of your statements es to his conneihnt with " these Creek affairt," he hate made it ap pear very evident, by his subsequent letters of the Ist and 4th inst., that he has had, not only a great deal to do with them, but a great' 40. more, in all probability, than the public is, as yet, fully aware &. Ti Mr. Ellice expected, by his letters to you, to have exculpated himself from the charges which were, and still are, out against him, as connected with " these Greek afildrs," he was grievously mistaken ; for, whether from the charges not being susceptible of refutation, or from his confused manner of expressing himself; I, for one, am as much in the dark as ever, as to their accuracy, as Well as to the nature' and extent of his connexion with " those said tir;ek affairs." Will you therefore have the goodness to ask him to declare explicitly to the public, as a man of honour, whether he was or was not, either a joint or sub-contractor for the second Greek loan, and whether he did or did not participate in the com mission of 60,000/., charged thereon by Meseta. Ricardo awl Co., awl if he did, to what extent? The latter gentlemen (or some one for them) have accounted fur the distribution of about b 4,0001. of the said Commissioners, but it would, 1 am sure, he gratifying to the public to know what became of the 'remaining 6,000/. Messrs. Ricardo having at last broke silence on the subject of the loan in question, will now per haps condescend to tell the bondholders who were the real con tractors, and who pocketed the commission.• Mr. Ellice will, at all events, speak out. A BOND HOWE lt. TO THE EDITOR. Sin--So. much has been said and written relative to Greek affairs since the meeting of- the 29d nit., that the main point of inquiry deputed to the sub-committee has been lost sight of en tirely, and has given way to series of vituperations and recrimina tions of as little importance to the bondholders as to the cause of Greece, The Committee of Inquiry was formed on a resolution passed on the 4th of September, which stated, " that this meet ►ng, viewing with alarm the delays which have taken place in for warding assistance to the Greek patriots, deer► it necessary to ap point a committee to inquire into the causes which have led to such delayi and also as to the application of the last loan con-• tracted for the service of the Greek Republic." It must be very evident, from the wording of this resolution, that to hasten siatance - to the Greek patriots was what the meeting had most at heart ; and that in ordering inquiry into the past; it could only have been with a view to regulate the future. I willingly admit, that with a view to regulate the future, the Greek Government and the bond-holders ought to know with whom blame for the past should rest ; but I maintain that,- in another point of view, it may be of the first importance to the Greek cause to have it as certained who is to blame for the detention of the steam-boats. The question is not one of mere pounds, shillings, and pence, as many cold calculators, such siii Messrs. Ricardo and Co., may sup pode, but one involving nothing less than the lives and liberties of a great people—the very existence of Greece. I may be told, that it matters not now who is to blame, whether Messrs. Ricardo, Mr. Galloway, Burdett, liobkonse, and Ellice, Major Cochrane, or lastly Lord Cochrane. But I say it does, for although it must be admitted that it may matter little to the Greek pa triots, to which (or if to all) of these Philhellenes, save the last, the delay of the steam-boats is attributable, not so, if, it can be fairly fastened on him. If the detention of that arma ment had been occasioned by his Lordship, then, I think, the cause of Greece may be viewed as saved ; for never, while life flows warm in his veins, can the gallant and noble Admiral desert he cause till he has seen it safe—never can he, having enlisted in her service, with a bounty of 37,0001. in his pocket, abandon her standard till it floats triumphant over every town and tower in Greece ; and never, if the fault be his, can he leave her soil until he has fully and amply revenged the murdered heroes of Missolonghi. God grant, therefore, that he may be found to have been the cause of all the horrors which Greece has suffered during the last 12 months, for in that case it must wed to her for ever the hero of Basque Roads. The truth may he easily arrived at, if people would be but less timid. Let Ifessre. Brent and Gordon, who built the steam-vessels, and Mr. GafloWay, who was employed to fit them with machinery, open their ninnths pobliely, and declare with whoM they acted. They Sitio'' , can say front whorl) they received orders, and what has iM to the detention. Let the committee of inquiry speak out also, for publicity having been once given cannot again . b e dreaded. Mr. 13owring even need 'not now fear it. I rely, Mr. Editor, on your pressing the necessity of such disclosures, and fur calling hsek the attention of the bondholders to the points of most importimpr from which they started, namely, what' were the causes of the delay in deepatching the stettut-hosts. ' ,4 FI IIND TO GREECE. PORTUGAL. OPENING OF THE CORTES. Ltsßort, Om 3le-41w Princess caused it to be noti fied to the Archbishops and Bishops, that they were not as formerly to occupy the reserved places at the Cortes, but that they would be thero seated eonfortnahly to the 4th article of the instructions annexed to the dearea of the 4llt instant, and that the Archbishops would enjoy the ho nours of Marquis and the Bishops enjoy that of counts. Iler ROyal liighness has received despatches-from his Majesty at Views. They contain the important news that the Infant Don Miguel took the oath to the consti tutional charter on the 4th of October, The Emperor of Austria, in a conference he had with this Prince in the presence of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, advised him to conform to the'sopreign will of the King, his august bro ther. The oath, pure' aull simple, written entirely by the Wind of the Infant, was sent 04 tie Portuguese Minister, Baron Villa Seca, and at the same time •tp Viscount Re zenda, Minister of the Emperor of Mitzi!. lininelliatcly after, his Royal INgliness, as well as the Minister of Por tugal, who bore the commission of Queen Maria IL, ad dressed themselves to his Holineo to obtain the necessary dispensations for marriage on account of the consanguinity. As soon as it shall arrive the marriage will take place. The gessioo of the Cortes was opened on the 30th, 'at the Palace of Ajuda. .The'Princess Ilegent delivered a speech, addressed to ato Noble Peers of the Realm and the De , pnties of the PortugikesP AtistiQ.9.• OPENING OF THE CORTES OF pottwinsi.. A halt had been prepared for this purpnse in the Palace of Ajuda. An armed chair to the rikcht of the Throne, and as high as the last step, was oecuped by the Duke de Cadavai, President of the Chamber of Peers. Near him was seated the Vice-President, the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon. The Peers were seated in two rows. The De puties occupied the space to the left, pp benches covered with green cloth.

You know that the country which is now called Portugal never knew, even in the remotest ages, any other Government than that of representative monarchy. The prelates and grandees of the kingdom formed alone that representation ; the people had no voice in it, and took no part in that pearly I'eydt4 Govern n'ent' The Kings °I . Portugal , a little after the origin of the mo narchy, conceded to the commons the rights and the dignities which barbarous ages bad refused them. Portugal flourished then under the shade of s Government cam- PlatelY representative. Nevertholeas, as there did oot exist kW! which fixed in, au invariable manner the institutions adoyted by usago, and handed down by our ancestors, they soon fell into dis 7y,i the Cartes were forgotten by, the nation. It was re 7ligehrs....4• . 1„. to re ne w them by means of wise and firm Ma melnory vortu S g u a tib w il l a l s a t i l w ie 4 l , , i roje rev et er w e, hi c e o l n a ac m , y .ye a d ug in ut s fatl r ,;;: a , i w w h i osa nd i tt.3oingsitoitruytitinia w u hleh is now carried into esecutiott with ilunl "'" ISM such is that ' gust brother, iu favouriog this nation with a tarter. We a r e called to the highest destinies ; in A word, to secure the happiness of Our countr y of hope, and smooth tholo d This idea must guide in the paths Act& roads whosetertnination is ho nour and glory. The opinion of the great nutobera of individuals who compose a nation min never b e Perrettlyituiforto on those principles on w hi c h the art of governing States is founded, nor in the choice of the means calculated to secure their happiness. This is especially observable when sueressive political revolutions have taken place in a nation. Nevertheless, the Portuguese nation being naturally mild and moderate, anti endowed with a great lo've for their legitimate Kings, this dissention of sentiment can- . not always subsist, and still less can it produce disastrous results, There.have, it is true, arisen among us perverse men and trai; tors, who have degenerated trout their ancient loyalty, but they scarcely succeeded in withdrawing a few weak and imprudent in dividuals from the path of honour and duty, by sowing among them gross errors or criminal impostures. Happily the number of either the one or the other has been small, and a great majority of the Portuguese remain ,firm in the obedience due to their legi timate Monarch. I cannot but anticipate the happiest result from the disposition of foreign nations iu regard to us, and time will not belie those favourable anticipations. Bound by the faith of treaties and by the most striking proofs of friendship, to one of the European nations, and at peace with all, I calculate upon the decisive sup port of the former, as well as upon . the good-will and upon the fraternal reciprocity of the latter. All will acknowledge, by experience, that the present repre sentative Government of Portugal is truly just and moderate, and further, that it does not pretend to interfere with any other State on account of the diversity of their institutions. :It confines itself to the defence of its own with energy and constancy. Already facts have demonstrated score than words the prudence and the good faith of the Government. These have diminished in a great degree the apprehensions of A neighbouring nation. Its Government has at last been convinced that the difference of po litical institutions ought not to destroy the friendship and mutual confidence which the most solenin treaties and the ties of bli;od, as well as neighbourhood, have so long consolidated. What now remains for us to found the hope of our future feli city? It is only a few hours ago that I received from Vienna the news that my well-beloved and highly-esteemed brother, the most Serene Infant Don Miguel, took an oath, pure and simple, to the Constitutional Charter, on the 4411 of the present month. Int mediat4ly after that act, lie petitioned hie Holiness to obtain the necessary dispensation to accomplish his marriage with his august niece and sovereign, Queen Donna Maria the Second. Legislative acts will eminently assist in inaintaining the political tranquillity of the State, and will consolidate the political system established by the constitutional charter.. They will establish upon the solid basis of civil and criminal codes, the empire of justice. They will establish , laws for the municipal bodies, for provincial administrations, and they will give a new impulse to industry, to commermi, and to agriculture, the !forces of national prosperity. I cannot allude to commerce without communicating to you the flattering hopes which I entertairk:of its increase from a redoubled intercourse between Portugal and Brazil. The treaties concluded between that empire and some European powers, Increase further this hope, and we have the most assured pledge of it iu the known generosity of the Emperor of Brazil towards a country where be drew his first breath, and where his august ances tors reigned. Your attention will doubtless be directed with particular rare towards education and public instruction, which contribute so much to purify the morals of nations, which times of trouble have corrupted, and the establishment of which, founded on the principles of the holy religions which we profess and shall ever defend, will strengthen the stability of the Monarchy and produce that perfect harmony. in which the members of the great family ought to live. . . Noble Peers of the Kingdom ! as legislators you will participate in these so important labours, but you are likewise called to exer cise the functions of the magistracy ; by your wisdom, firmness, and the love of your couutry, which ought to distinguish you, you will serve as an example to those who will succeed you in your he reditary dignities. • It is to you, Deputies of the Portuguese Nation, that the ini tiative belongs on two subjects which concur most efficaciously to consolidate the public felicity, as well as the independence and se curity to which we owe it, viz. the recruiting of the army and taxes. The consolidation of public credit demands your most se rious attention. The Ministers of State will furnish you with those explanations which the constitutional charter demands from them. Finally, it is from you all, Peers of the Kingdom, and Deputies of the Portuguese Nation, that I expect, and that the whole nation hopes, the accomplishment of Its brilliant destinies. You will be the firmest support *f the throne, and your regard is the greatest recompense of the interesting labours you are about to undertake, the sweet satisfaction of saying one day to your constituents, we found Portugal weak and languishing, and we have left her flou rishing and strong, The Princess Regent, in exneution of the 107th article of the I Charter, noininsted Om Counsellors of State in the foll o win g order The Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, Vi►e-President of the Chew her of Peers.

Esteemed Friend,- , -By the schooner Anuzzona, which sailed from Curacoa the 3d instant, and arrived at this place yesterday, I have received letters from respectable persons in Caraccas. From those ,1 learn that the state of affairs in Venezuela presents a favourable aspect. The army is divided, opinioua vary, the indisposition of General Paez increases ; al ready he begins to see hie error, and to understand the real cha racter of the persons who have honied him into it ; and at the arrival of the Liberator all ' will lee union 'and peace. Colonel Marcell°, with part of the army of Paez, had arrived at atTcelona, and I do._ not hesitate now to contradict what I formerly wrote to you. There wilt be peace in Venezuela ; and union, the moat ersi,ira and settled union, throughout all Colombia.' We have good reason to believe and -- affirm that the Government follows with a firm step the constitutional course, anti endeavours by the union of its - councils to give greater effect to its determinations. ,• Some days since was an gkilieed the aniyal of 4 large remittance of specie from Bogota to pay the bills of exchange drawn by the agents of Colombia in New York,'attd the expenses of the frigates which haze been built in the port of th a t c ity. The marine Agee continues to be the principal object of the Executive, and we learn with pleasure that it has removed one of the principal obstacles which hindered the growth and improvement of the navy, that is to say, the want of intelligent men in the command. General Lino Clemente, a veteran zeaman, and a. man of enlightened views, is at the head of the department of naval affairs. Commodore J. M. Pareja and Captain F. Ilernaiz haie lately been appointed to reside in Bogota, for the purpose of reporting to, the Government such measures, both principal and srcondary; relatingto the increase and improve ment of our navy, as maybe necessary to be adopted. Commerce begins to mend hers-,-,the fruits of the country are dull—and pro visions are in demand.

(Extract of a Letter, dat e d Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 1, 1896.) There seems to be but little hope of an aminglodakiri of the existing differences between this country and the River Plate, as the Emperor seems determined to listen to no terms whatever ex eluding his sovereignty to the Banda Oriental. It is thought the patriots will soon make an attack on the Rio Grande, and appre hensions are entertained that they will be successful, though the imperial forces are numerous. Another engagement has recently taken place , in the river Plata between the two squadrons, in which they both suffered severely. The Captain of one of the Brazilian vessels was dangerously wounded, and the Lieutenant of the brig Netheroy is said to be killed ; the contest was, however, undecisive. We are fearful this war will yet be productive of much mischief, and know that the general wish throughout the country is to terniinate it by negotiation without further delay. • Mirxico.—By the way of Philadelphia, Vera Cruz dates have been received to September the 16th. The papers inform us that Tacubaya, the place to which the great Congress adjourned from Panama, is very healthy; and that the opening of it is to be' celebrated in a public manner. The liberal and federal party are said to have triumphed at the late election for Representatives to the Congress of the Republic. Several letters having been addressed by merchants to Metiers. Manning and Marshall, stating that bills drawn by them, on the Anglo-Mexican Mining Company have been protested, Messrs. Manning and 'Marshall have deposited funds with C. T. O'Gor ham, Esq. British Consul-General, to the amount of 936,397/. to indertinify any claims that may appear against them in conse quence of the protesting of bills or other indemnities. " Tut Lt BER ATOR. —While the question of the Greek vessels is attracting the attentio of the public, we would take this opportunity to say u word or two concerning the Liberator, which was sold to the United States for 233,000 dollars, in order to enable the Greeks to pay for the Hellas. We do not see why our Government should any longer wear the mask of neutrality in re gard to the contest between the Greeks and the Turks. The rea lity of the neutrality no longer exista; a Greek frigate has been al lowed to be built and equipped in a part of the United States; and it would seem that, in regard to the purchase of the Liberator, a kind of indirect negociation has been entered with the Greek agent. Would it not be a more magnanimous, a more dignified, and in every respect a more praiseworthy policy to take part openly and directly in a cause which we approve, a cause which resembles our own struggle for independence, with this difference, that it is a struggle against a far more severe and grinding oppression? Would it not be an act worthy of this great republic to bestow the Libe rator on the Greek nation? It is already in some sort their pro perty, for the funds of the Government procured with so much difficulty, and so important to them in their present distress, have been expended in this country to an amount which should have built three such vessels—yet the Greek agent has been forced to re turn to his country with but one. It is no matter whose fault this is, in the light in which we at present consider it ; it is at all events a most serious misfortune 'to the Greek nation. It is one which the generosity of our country alone can repair, and we have now the opportunity of doing it in a manner that will confer honour on the nation. The Liberator is of little value to us; it is built of green white oak, and in a dozen years will be rotting in our docks; but 'in that period the question' of Grecian liberty will be settled. We do not want the vessel. We have no battles to fight, and pro bably shall have none till she is decayed ; but the possession of that vessel may prove the salvation of the Greek nation."

Sir„.—ln my letter of the 16th nit., I mentioned that I had written to our Minister on the subject of the difficulty which had arisen here in relation to some cargoes of cotton arrived here in vessels which had touched at Ireland for orders. ' You will per ceive by the inclosures, that he immediately drew the attention of the Government to the subject, and that the construction which was put on the convention by the Director General of the Customs, is confirmed. That is to say, that only such cargoes as come in vessels direct from a port in the United States to a port in France, and provided with a French Consular certificate, to the rnaaifesto that they are the produce of the United States, can be admitted at the reduced duty. I think it important that our merchants should hive early information of this strange decision, for certainly none of them will consider they are liable to lose the benefits of the convention by the mere circumstance of their calling for orders. I have the honour to be respectfully, Sir, &c. &c (Signed) It. G. BEASLEY. KINGSTON.-Jamaica Papers to the 27th September have been received. Several severe shocks,of an earthquake were felt in different parts of the itilawl on the 18th and 19th September. 'the orders fur dosing the ports in the Wert India Colonies against the vessels of the United States, is published in the Kingston Papers of the 284 September. The Legislative Assembly of Jamaica had been summoned to meet on the 10th October. "We sincerely hope," says the editor of the St. Jar) Gazette, "that the arrival of the packet may bring such an explanation of the late regulation with regard to the Custom-house duties, as will justify the Assembly in pro ceeding with the usual buiinees of the country. But, when we consider that one of the principal sources of our revenue has been attempted to be wrested from us, not only against.the British statutes, but iu defiance of Colonial laws, and more especially of our great Revenue Act of 1729, for which our predecessors had so long and so severe a contest, we cannot help thinking that the functions of our Assembly are already at an end, if these measures have not origi nated in mistake. We sincerely trust and hope this may be the case, and that full and satisfactory explanation will be received, either by the expected packet or by the one expected in October. BOLIVA R.—The Peruvians, we learn, are verir much (Jimmie fied with the Liberator, General tiouvAn, and look upon his con duct and movements with a jealous eye; and that many of the well-informed men of that country believe his views are to engross the whole power, of the State in his own bands.

' The receipts of the Custom-house at Vera Cruz, during the month ofJuly, amounted to 515,772 dollars; 100,000 of which were, we presume, appropriated towards paying the interest of the debt due to England ; and on the 14th Sept. the Colombian sloops of war area and Venezuela were met going into Car thagena front Chagres with troops.
